Forgetfulness and senility, or noticeable cognitive decline, is often regarded as an inevitable, irreversible, and unpreventable consequence of aging. Although some merely joke about their "senior moments," others fret that their inability to remember something is an early sign of dementia.
Researchers from the CIHR and Hotchkiss Brain Institute have been closely studying cognitive function and the links between aging, stroke, exercise and maintaining brain and blood vessel health. Please join us for a lively discussion of the latest research evidence on this important subject. This free event is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Space is limited.
